Stories From Donors & Grant Recipients

I feel like I took the step in the right direction. Before then, I didn’t have the tools or motivation to do anything differently with my life. Now I want more, I know there is more for me, and it’s exciting!

- Renee, Starting Point 2.0 Graduate

Stories From Donors & Grant Recipients

This program is bigger than computer skills. Not only are these women strengthening their digital and financial literacy, they are building their own self-confidence. By overcoming fears and developing new skills, the 12 women of Even Start are becoming empowered and increasing the probability of future success for their families.

- Susan Hunsader, Even Start Lead Instructor

Stories From Donors & Grant Recipients

Kathleen needed help when health issues changed her circumstances. Many things Kathleen had managed alone were now beyond her abilities. She began receiving help with cleaning, meal preparation and medication reminders for a reduced rate of $5/hour. 

“Boy, does it help, I can’t even tell you how much! I only have one daughter, and when she visits, I don’t want her to spend the entire time cleaning. Help At Home is pretty wonderful.”

- Kathleen - Clarity Care, Help at Home client

The continued growth of the fund is an inspiring thing. It doesn’t stand still. It’s moved forward continually. A great part of my professional life was being involved with helping the Women’s Fund grow.

- Ruth Haviland, Women's Fund Founding Donor

Stories From Donors & Grant Recipients

I support the Women’s Fund because I believe in the power of girls. We are all stronger as a community when we stand together.
